Chinese Medicine Times : Keeping You Informed

The Connection of the Six Channels with the Five Viscera and the Six Bowels - Part Two

Volume 1 Issue 5 - October 2006

by Lorraine Wilcox

Yang brightness (yangming)

The name yang brightness has the image of the brilliant and reflective nature of the heavens. The large intestine, paired with the lungs, is also metal. Yang brightness and greater yin are paired like the moon and the heavens: both reflect the light of the sun, but are not the sun itself. The greater yang channels are on the back, the yang side of the body. But yang brightness traverses the abdomen, the anterior of the body, because it is the reflection, not the source of light. The brilliance of the heavens would have no need to exist if it were not to illuminate the earth. Heaven and earth means the universe. There is no universe without the earth. The stomach is earth and is paired with spleen earth, the other greater yin channel.
